I've never been able to understand why, when users of a particular service

the dispute in the first place, and the only ones who have the power to
resolve it - ie the employers.

That seems as much an oversimplification as the naive users'.
It takes two to create a dispute, and there's no guarantee
a priori of which side is more in the wrong.
